i7 with a smaller cheaper 120G SSD. done. no need for a massive 500G. keep the SSD for the OS only.

This. Don't downgrade your CPU for teh brand of an SSD.

I vote for I-6600K and the ssd.

I will never again build without a ssd for the "C" drive. Everything is simply faster.

Moreover, for gaming, a I5-6600K with an overclock will perform exactly the same as an overclocked I7-6700K.
That is because so few games can actually make use of more than 2-3 threads. The I7 hyperthreads will go unused.

As of 5/2016
What percent can get an overclock at a somewhat sane 1.40v Vcore.

I7-6700K
4.9 2%
4.8 17%
4.7 59%
4.6 93%
4.5 100%

I5-6600K
5.0 2%
4.9 11%
4.8 36%
4.7 64%
4.6 88%

And... I think you can find better quality for your psu; look for tier 1 or 2

120gb ssd is too small. Many things default to the "C" drive. A ssd will slow down losing performance and endurance when it nears full.
240gb is ok. Look for Samsung evo.

sure, but it's easy to use symbolic links to shift the less critical junk like Downloads, MyDocs, MyPics, etc to a plain hard drive so that the "default" is redirected automatically for all programs
